I am "forced" to make this post given the many people who ask me how they can do to give permissions to folders in Windows Vista (which comes from this post).

then click Find Now.
Done at the bottom of this window you will see all the possible users of your computer
Select IIS_IUSRS, and even your IUSR user and those who need to use this service (which does not hurt) and click OK .
